I haven’t baked with matcha for quite some time I think. My bad. You can create really nice bakes with matcha! Especially when combined with white chocolate… mmm! The best example for this kind of combination are these Matcha White Chocolate Cookies. Who would have guessed, right?

I guess you all know what matcha is? That finely grated green powder from green tea leaves. Normally you add it to hot water or milk and make yourself a nice tea/drink, but matcha is also really nice for baking.

For me it’s important to get the right matcha dosage – no matter for a drink or when baking – I don’t like an overpowering matcha flavor. If there is too much matcha involved, I always have the feeling to have eaten a handful of grass ;P Not cute nor delicious.

All recipes you can find here on the blog that use matcha (there are not many, but some…) are adapted to my level of matcha happiness. Means the matcha flavor is very light and never overpowering. Unless there is a need to add more matcha (for color reasons for example) – but then I will tell you in the recipe. So these cookies are suited for “matcha beginners” ;) All hardcore matcha fans should maybe add some more matcha.
